IN CENTRAL AFRICA.
The Marvellous Achievements ot the Ne gro Population of Central Scudan.

The Marvellous Achievements ot the Ne
 gro Population of Central Scudan.
 When I reached Central Soudan, the sights and scenes I there witnessed burst upon me like a revelation. I found myself in the heart of Africa, among undoubted negroes, but how different from the unwashed, unclad barbarians it had hitherto been my lot to meet in my travels in Africa! I could hardly believe I was not dream ing when 1 looked around me and found large well-built cities, many of them containing 10000 to 30.000 in- habitants. The people themselves, pct uresquely and voluminously dressed, moved about with that self-possessed sober dignity which bespeaks the man who has proper respect for himself. l saw on all sides the signs of an in- dustrious community, differentiated into numerous crafts, evidence suf- ficient to show how far advanced they were on the road to civilization. 1 heard the rattle, the tinkle and the musical clang of workers in iron, in brass and in copper. l could see cloth being made in one place, and dyed, or sewn into gowns or other articles of dress, in other places. In the markets, crowded with eager thousands, I could see how varied were the wants of these negro people, how manifold the pro- auctions of their industry, and how keen their business instincts. AL most more remarkable than any thing else, no native beer or spirits, nor European gin and rum, found place in their markets. Clearly there were no buyers, and, therefore, no sellers. Outside the towns, again, no forest cov- cred the land; the density of the popu- lation and its numerous requirements had made the virgin forest thing of the past, and its place was taken by various cereals, by cotton and indigo, and other vegetable productions which minister to the inner and outer man. What could have produced this great change?-for that a change had oc- cured could not be doubted. Ger tainly contact with Europeans had had nothing to do with it. The character of the industries, the style of art, indi- cated certain amount of Moorish influence, giving them the direction which they had assumed. How had the first great steps been taken? No Moors or Arabs were to be seen among the people. No such races held the reins of government and by their powerful influence caused the intro- duction of new arts and industries. Evidently, whatever had been done had been done through the free aspirations of the negroes toward higher things. 1 was left long in ignorance of the agency which had thus transformed numerous tribes of savages into semi-civilized na- tions, ruled by powerful Sultans, who administered justice of high order (for Africa) and rendered life and property safe. That agency was al- most exclusively Mohammedanism.- Joseph Thomson, in Contemporary Re- UieJU.

OLD EXECUTIONS.
Methods in Vogue in England in the Reign
 of William III.

Methods in Vogue in England in the Reign
 of William III.
 In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries our method of executions was most brutal. There was the long ride of the criminal in an open cart, with his coffin by his side, either to Tyburn or to the spot where he committed the murder; the cart was stopped under the gallows, the rope was fastened round the criminals neck. the car man gave the horse a lash, and the poor wretch was left swaying to and fro, kicking. If he had friends, they would try to shorten his agony by hanging on to his legs, and beating his breast, a shocking sight. But hanging then was looked upon as a holiday spectacle, in which we find the lower class took great interest and evinced much sympathy with the de- ceased. For instance, Claude Duval. the celebrated highwayman, lay in state at the "Tangier" Tavern in St Giles in a room hung with black cloth, the bier covered with escutcheons, and with eight wax candles burning around. He was buried by torchlight, and was fol- lowed to Covent Garden Church by a numerous train of mourners, mostly women. Nilsson, French writer, who visited England in the reign of William IL, writes: 'He that is hang'd or otherwise executed, first takes care to get himself shav'd and handsomely drest, either in mourning or in the dress of a bridegroom. This done, he sets his friends to work to get him leave to be bury'd, and to carry his coffin with him, which is easily obtain'd. When his suit of cloaths, or night gown, his gloves, hat, perriwig, nosegay, coffin. flannel dress for his corps, and all those things are bought and prepared, the main point is taken care of-his mind is at peace, and then he thinks of his con- science. Generally, he studies a speech, which he pronounces under the gallows and gives in writing to the sheriff or the minister that attends him in his last moments, desiring that it may be printed.
